Tue, 23 Oct 2007 21:46:24 +0000http://zensarcasm.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/what-is-it-that/#comment-1584A good friend recommended a book, “The Introverted Advantage: How to Survive in an Extroverted World” by Marti Olsen Laney, Psy.D. I think it should definitely be required reading for extroverts. It has some pretty cool facts/theories like only 25% of the populations are considered introverts and many theorists feel this is because the doers of the world (the extroverts) need counsel from the advisors (the extroverts) and you only need so many advisors. Not a bad role, counselor/advisor. We extroverts are just the busy bees :-), and sometimes, we look very busy, but might just be running around in circles because we don’t have good advisors :-).

Anyhow, last time I took it I think I was an ENFJ, although it might have been ENFP. And believe it or not, I’m borderline E/I, which lots of people have a hard time believing. But I grew up in a family of “I’s,” and am married to one. 🙂 So, even “E’s” like me need some down time alone to rejuvenate sometimes!
Peace,
The Party Animal 😉

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 08:29:05 +0000http://zensarcasm.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/what-is-it-that/#comment-1582I need my “me-time” every so often or else I go crazy!
There’s something very satisfying about curling up with a good book, music on low, and absolutely no interruptions for an hour or three.
Anyone who tells me that I’m a loser for enjoying that (or anything else I enjoy) gets a pitying look from me and sometimes a comment about how everybody enjoys things differently. Once in a rare while I’ll comment on not passing judgement on other people. Usually I’ll just give the pitying look and change the subject.
My daughter says that when I’ve given some of her friends “the look” they’ve actually gone and given more thought to what they were criticizing and even tried to enjoy it. Apparently there’s been a few converts 🙂
Yes, I am still INFP (Introverted iNtuiting Feeling Perceiving).

We’re now going to retire to our stereotype cubby holes. Except he got a 75% N. I had low P, but pretty even otherwise. I want to run the kids through it.

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 20:13:31 +0000http://zensarcasm.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/what-is-it-that/#comment-1577I used to be an INFP, but am now an ENFP… maybe it’s b/c of the years of forced interactions through teaching.
